distribution archive... The issue is that there is a 'Makefile' already in
the distribution archive. (Why didn't we notice that?) A 'perl
Makefile.PL && make test' sequence (as a for instance) is not affected
because it overwrites that existing one. It affects a Debian pkg build
because the build sees that 'Makefile' already there and so uses that
instead of creating a new one. (That, I think, can be worked around if
needed...)
The cause of the issue is that the word "Makefile" is listed in the
MANIFEST file, so it gets added to the distribution archive.
